Poetry. Collages (completely analog - x-acto knife and magnifying glass and glue). Reading. Cats. Books. Yoda (I have 18 Yodas on top of an old TV set I hollowed out and turned into a toy cabinet). Vintage paperbacks. Big artist's notebooks with broken spines where I start in longhand and do some of my revisioning. Soulful conversation. 2012. Vintage clothes. Putting off till the day after tomorrow what I could do tomorrow. Cardigan sweaters. Listening to the wind sing.

The Sword of Compassion sings in your scabbard, the Book of Forgiveness lies open on your table, the Chalice of Wisdom dances in your cupboard - be your own hero.
關於我: I'm an artist - I've been writing for many many years - I also make collages. There's a mighty entity standing right behind you and chanting a beautiful poem - listen. I'm juggling a lot of stoves. There is no one-to-one correlation - fear nothing, hope for nothing - the Awakening is close at hand. I still like to read comic books - the child is parent to the person. Believe in magic - and magic will believe in you. The Law of Karma is the low road, the Law of Grace is the high road, I'll meet you on the high road. The time is here, the place is now, we are the people we've been waiting for. One day last week - was it a Thursday? - I stepped off a curb and - just for a second - I floated. The days of the impossible will be here soon. Love everyone. Be Light.
我想認識: Interesting people. Poets and painters and filmmakers and sculptors and musicians and novelists and dancers. Old Souls. Freethinkers and lightworkers and the spiritually bereft. Friends from previous lifetimes. Kindred spirits. Friends from future lifetimes. Members of my soul tribe - and members of the soul tribe just over yonder hill - and members of the soul tribe... You - yes, you! I can sense we'll be wonderful friends. Let's have some fun!
Autumns
beautiful magic transforms Summer into Winter.
The brilliant colors, the cool breeze, & frosty nights signal
excitement of upcoming holidays. Listen
to the harmonic laughter of beautiful people,
the honk of migrating geese or the purr of happy cat . Sweet Blessings, Rhonda Grace
…And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea.
THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK –T. S. Eliot (HAPPY Birthday, T. S.)
T. S. ELIOT, Sir Gerald Kelly, Oil on canvas, 1962

Some people fly through them Like eagles of sovereign schemes. Others just frolic through their Fanciful traces or places of dreams. We have been known to Dance in the rain of them Or just lift our faces to Be bathed by their drip-drop streams.
Clouds like these I've never seen -in this tornado warning- Thus here I stand freed Adrift in a starry dark storming Pillowy puffs of pure snow-white Cotton balls racing across the heavens In their levity honing my sight In their brevity brushing by my presence As softly as the chill breeze calls me to life.
I feel so alive.
Yet, concerned voices call me down under Into the the cellar's stank dank captivity That I might rise again in the morning and breathe— In the clouds.
